TRANSPORTATION WAS gEST Will Join United States in Replisals Against Japan For Discrimination Against trade in China. London, Dec. 13. (U.R) British government experts are studying trade reprisals against Japan for discriminating against t.

British trade in China, it was learned today. While the government has not yet made a final decision to apply such reprisals, it was understood it would do so if the United States takes similar measures. Joseph P. Kennedy, United States ambassadr-r, is en-route to the United States, has been conferring with government officials on the Far Eastern situation and is expected to report to Washington on 's attitude. Britain undoubtedly wants to continue the "parallel pol'-y" under which Britain and the United States, while retaining indepen dence of action," take similar measures when Japan interferes with their interests in the Far East.

For instance, both presented similar protests to Tokyo against Japan's refusal to permit Britain, the United Statesjind other foreign shipping to use the ITahgtse" river. Application of reprisals by the two countries each acting independently would be a decisive step in development of this parallel policy. The British press has carried reports from Wr ington indicating that the United States is likely to take reprisals against Japan after President Roosevelt has conferred with Kennedy and kelson T. Johnson, Ambassador to China, who also is en route to Washington. The reports said so.

much evidence is piling up of Japanese discrimination against. the United States that President Roosevelt will be obliged under the tariff laws to make an official finding to that effect, as he did against Germany. The President is studying the matter, carefully before acting, the reports said, becav 3 United States reprisals might provoke retaliatory action by Japan. COUGH FACES BITTER-PROTEST Chicago, Dec. 13.

(UP) new controversy centered today around the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin on the matter of religious and racial tolerance. George Mundelein, archbishop of Chicago, formally dissociated the Catholic church from Coughlin's radio utterances. Frank J.

Hogan, president of the American Bar Association, denied Coughlin's assertion that he had been "the enraged spokesman" of the National Jewish Council when he spoke for religious and racial tolerance on the radio Sunday afternoon. The Brooklyn Diocesan Union of the Holy Name claiming to represent the sentiments' of 200,000 members, threatened to boycott the advertisers of a New York radio station which had barred Coughlin from the air. The Jersey City Council Of the Knights of Columbus also took Coughlin's side. The controversy centered on whether or not Coughlin traduced the Jewish, race when, three weeks ago, he asserted that" Jews had led and financed the Russian revolution and had been in control of Communism. Coughlin maintains that he hadn't condemned Jews as a whole, but merely Communistic Jews, and that Jews should join in a fight on Communism.

His opponents have charged that he was seeking to arouse anti-Semitism. Mundelein became the second Prince of Coughlin's church to speak out against his radio utterances. William Cardinal O'-Connell, archbishop of Boston, did so in 1934. Mundelein's statement was read on a coast to coast network of the National Broadcasting Company Sunday night. Pittsburgh, Dec.

13. (UP). Adolf Hitler of Germany couldn't ask for better -propagandist in America than the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, of Detroit, Dr.

Solomon B. FreehOf, Pittsburgh rabbi, said today in denying charges of the radio priest that Jews are leaders of Communism. "Just at the time'when America is united against Nazi horror, there comes this one discordant voice," Dr. Freehof declared. "If Hitler wanted a propagandist in America, he couldn't ask for anything better." Philadelphia.

Dec. 13. (UP). Dr. Max Lerner, former editor of The Nation, told a golden jubilee gathering of the Jewish publications societv last nieht that th Rev.

Charles E. Coughlin should not De canned from the radio even though he "is SDreadine Ilea and propaganda." "No. matter how many Cough-lins talk, they can't produce anti-Semitism In America if the people are economically SAdirp Dr Lerner said. "Put people back to worn ana tney won listen to lies, they won't swallow poison." Detroit. Dec.

13. (UP). Father Charles E. Couglhin. a state ment issued today a' his shrine of the Little Flover, in Royal Oak, asserted that ''only the Pone' speaks for the Catholic church.

His tatemen followed radio broadcast in Chimazo in which George Cardinal Mundelein said that utterances of Father Coughlin did not ex ress the sentiments of the Catholic Church and that the priest was "not authorized to Former Federal Expert Recommends Reclassification of Federal Taxation to Spur Business And Income. Washington, Dec. 13. (AP). A former government tax expert today, a reclassification of federal taxation which he said would increase employment," spur business and increase national income.

Lovell Parker, for 12 years an adviser to the joint Congressional Committee on Taxation, told the Senate profit-sharing committee that if the nation had a 000,000 income "all our troubles would be over." He reconn mended: Creation of a new "super tax" on net incomes of individuals and business firms from which deductions would be made for increased payrolls, plant and machinery investments and direct charitable gifts. Division of income taxes into three classes: normal, surtax and super tax. The normal' and sur taxes then would provide a "protective" margin of revenue, he said, and the government could experiment with incentive levies in the super tax bracket. Parker made it plain he was proposing only a reclassification of present and not an increase in levies. Taking as a specific example an individual with a $1,000,000 taxable net income, Parker explained his plan this way: The government now collect $679,000 in taxes on such an income.

Under his plar. normal and surtaxes would total $400,000. The $600,000 of the income remaining would be taxable under the super tax bracket. The maximum tax of $279,000 in this super-tax bracket would be subject to deductions for salaries paid domestic servants, increase in salaries and wages over the amount paid in the previous year, investment in homes( plants and machinery, and amounts contributed for educational, charitable and scientific purposes. Parkeri said the government "might lose some money" for two or three years by instituting this plan, but he believed revenues would be increased substantially in the long run.
